Guanacaste Fishing Charters



The gulf of Papagayo in Costa Rica has some of the best Inshore Fishing in the world and especially for the famous roosterfish - rooster or rooster fish, doesn't matter how you call it; however, of course we fish for other species such as: dorado, tuna, cubera snapper and seasonal grouper and read snapper.

Our captains and mates are local people with a large experience fishing these waters. We have been fishing here since 25-30 years ago; firstly as commercial fishermen and later as sport fishermen due the arrival of much tourism to our region.

WE ARE BOATS OWNERS!!!, so why not to book with us and save some money and headaches when you vacation in Papagayo Costa Rica. Each boat captain and crew will make all what they can do to reach the best fishing places and to catch the fish you are looking for.

"Genaro,
I just wanted to drop a line to you and tell you what a great time we had with your crew and company. We enjoyed getting to know Arnold and the rest of the crew. Because Arnold was the only one that spoke English we got to know him better and we just wanted you to know that we had a very good time talking with him and fishing with him. We caught all the fish that we set out too catch and were very happy with the results. We were so happy with your company and the crew that we told a lot of people at the resort that were not having any luck with their charters and passed out your contact info to them for their next trip to Costa Rica. In fact, I have some friends coming down and they are going to go fishing in another month so i will give them your contact info.
Again thank you for such a great trip and making my father in laws trip a very special one and catching that big sail fish he has always wanted to. Please tell our crew again thank you for the best time ever.
By the way I saw your crew wearing T-shirts with your company name on them, where can we get a few of them to wear?
Thank you"
